CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Meadowbrook House is one of 198 care homes in Cornwall: a 42-bed nursing home in Lostwithiel, run by Cornwallis Care Services Ltd. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia. That is larger than most homes in Cornwall, where the typical home has 22 beds.
Its CQC rating, from September 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in September 2018, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 32% of ratings in Cornwall are as old (how rating age varies by council).
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2025. That is true of 87% of homes in Cornwall. Across Cornwall, 81% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 8 of Cornwallis Care Services Ltd’s 9 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
